One of the biggest arthouse DVD buzz releases of the last year, described by Sight & Sound as "the most intellectually stimulating and emotionally provocative piece of European cinema of recent times." Intersecting lives of several characters pull us into the entangling complexities of communication, reality, and moral reality. The presence of actress Juliette Binoche adds to the Kieslowski-like feel of this film, and her amazing performance as an actress crossing the borders between reality and fiction is breathtaking. Indeed, this is a film looking for the borders (or "code"), including the contours of what it means to be human in a fragmented, postmodern age.

Code Unknown is part of "Codes & Consequences", the Featured Screenings program at Flickerings at Cornerstone Festival, July 2-5, 2003.
